Post Translational Modifications | Differentially phosphorylated during cell cycle. During mitosis the p60 subunit of inactive CAF-1 is hyperphosphorylated and displaced into the cytosol. Progressivly dephosphorylated from G1 to S and G2 phase. Phosphorylated p60 is recruited to chromatin undergoing DNA repair after UV irradiation in G1, S or G2 phases. |
Function | Complex that is thought to mediate chromatin assembly in DNA replication and DNA repair. Assembles histone octamers onto replicating DNA in vitro. CAF-1 performs the first step of the nucleosome assembly process, bringing newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 to replicating DNA.histones H2A/H2B can bind to this chromatin precursor subsequent to DNA replication to complete the histone octamer. |
